Universal's Epic Universe General News & Discussion

[salismetho]

Naming the land Dark Universe is probably a terrible idea objectively but I absolutely love that they're going through with it. We're finally witnessing the beginning of a #DarkUniverse.

(I really want names for the rest of the lands now too. I have no idea what they'll call the new WWoHP unless they really go with just "Paris," and HTTYD is hard to tell as well.)

Berk for HTTYD probably. Or Dreamworks - Berk would make sense to me

How to Train Your Dragon - Isle of Berk?

I think they shouldn't give them names. They have their own unique looking portals to communicate what you can expect, no need for a name. The map could name the rides and shows and that would be enough for me.

I'm sorry but you need names for lands.

Park goers will do what they always do. Make shorthand’s of the given lands/rides names anyway. I’d guess it’ll still be, Potter, Monsters, Mario, and Dragons colloquially. Universal still has to name them properly though.

You'll have to find all the lands yourself, then a gnome will slip you a sticker with the land's name that you can use to bookmark the area's location on your map.

Wing Glider is probably the Sky Flyer, but curious what Fyre Drill is or what relation that has to HTTYD

The coaster?

Probably the splash battle boats

 

[Alicia]

I think Wing Gliders is the coaster. The queue has Hiccups wing suit on display. And the Sky Fly concept art calls it “Dragon Racer Rally”. Of course that could change

 

[salismetho]

Got it, so it'd make sense for Fyre Drill to be for the Splash Battle ride. But I can't seem to find any correlation between Dreamworks/HTTYD and the spelling of Fyre which I find odd. Maybe it's the name of a dragon in the land?

Old Scottish/Norwegian spelling of Fire I think is all?

Oh that makes so much sense, I was way overthinking it

 

[Parkscope Joe]

Why make all these filings now? Are we looking at more official information in the next few months?

I wasn’t expecting any big reveals until early next year, so I don’t know.

Unless it’s a direct result of mine and Screamscape’s reporting in recent months. Names like Starfall Racers and Curse of the Werewolf are out there now, so might be a protection thing? (Plus, concept art leaks or portfolios from artists featuring names for a lot more at this park have been shared around by plenty of forums, blogs, and YouTube videos before mine.)

 

[captainmoch]

It's exciting that we now know the names of half the lands and half the rides. Would love if we got some official concept art for any of these by the end of the year.

As far as bus transportation, is the main "hub" of pickup and drop off for EU going to be where the hotels pick/up and drop off

Or will it be like Volcano Bay where there is a separate pick/up and drop off location?

I'm curious to see how the numbers shake out

I'm also interested if Universal will develop a culture like Disney where people bounce around all day

Granted that is happening now, but, the two parks are very connected

They have to finalize the graphics packages and set them in stone now before they start being produced.

So definitely getting closer to more info.

Probably a combo of these two.

Assuming these trademarks keep arriving at this pace, @Alicia will have to produce a video just on names.
